Renting to retired people

Just put a property up for rent. This is my first time renting and have a few retirees interested. How do you verify income? Its assumed they would get social security. Does the application process on a site like Zillow do the credit report and background checks have more information in them like that? I know this seems very stupid to ask but I had to try. Thanks.

Most of my tenants are retirees the problem is they are in their early 30’s and probably never worked a day in their lives lol ask to see bank statements if they don’t have a w2 job
